Partnership in new startup located in Chicago

Dear Applicant,

What I have is an offer for a partnership in a new start-up. Specifically
what we will be offering our clients is investment in the stock, options
and futures markets using statistical research (5 years of data).

The four positions are:
1> A person who knows Postgres as an expert and either knows or will learn
Elastisearch. That is the person that I'm looking for.
2> An expert in branding and marketing. I have a person in mind who has
done this kind of work before.
3> An expert trader. Someone who has traded in all markets with a good
record that they'd like to make significantly better.
4> An expert in R who knows trading well enough that they can act as a
business partner to both you and (eventually) the team led by you. This is
me.

*Proposal one (with partnership):*
I am in the process of writing the business plan and have no problems
sharing it with you. ​I have some plans that I've shared with the branding
person about how to raise our initial R&D capital by leveraging a
KickStarter​ campaign best thing is that you capture their email
addresses. My goal is to put together this business without angel
investors thus keeping control (and of course money) within the 4
partners. Once a week (either Monday or Friday) you would need to attend
progress meetings, other than that I don't mind if you work remotely as
long as you get the job done. My plans are for us to be located in an
older building (has style and architected by Sullivan) downtown.

​*Proposal two (with credit on the paper):*​
​I also intend to write an article for publication in the ACM journal on
OLAP vs OLTP database design. Since I want to make this as real as
possible I will be using Postgres in order to show how this can be
implemented. I have just reserved a site and started to populate it
(DSBIntelligence.com/OLAP but don't go out there yet as it's still a work
in progress). I intend on the article being both in the ACM journal snd on
the site along with code and a small sample database so that the arguments
are easier to follow.​

​Please contact me if you are interested in either proposal. Email
response is best although you can also get me at my Skype address which you
can tell since it has a man smoking a pipe done in pasta.
